Throughout the 1970s, Filmation produced some well-regarded {{animated adaptation}}s of various series, such as ''[[WesternAnimation/FlashGordon The New Adventures of Flash Gordon]]''; ''{{Tarzan}}, Lord of the Jungle''; ''{{Zorro}};'' ''TheNewAdventuresOfBatman'', and ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'', as well as some less well-regarded ones, such as ''TheBradyKids'' (whose dancing pandas and helicopter-tailed wizard bird are [[ShoutOut deployed]] to hilarious effect in a MushroomSamba sequence in ''[[Series/TheBradyBunch A Very Brady Sequel]]''), ''[[Series/GilligansIsland The New Adventures of Gilligan]]'', ''My Favorite Martians'', and ''UncleCrocsBlock'', which featured an all-canine version of ''[[Series/{{Mash}} M*A*S*H]]'' called "M*U*S*H".

* StockSoundEffects: Many of the sound effects in Filmation's cartoons were low-quality copies of the HannaBarbera sound effects (often with a more audible echo, or at a slightly lower pitch), along with a few custom-created sounds and some stock sounds from Disney's cartoons (by Jimmy MacDonald.) Some sound effects were borrowed from the original StarTrek series such as the phaser and photon torpedo soundeffects.

In 1981, Filmation sought to tap into the increasingly popular fantasy market with ''{{Blackstar}}'', its analogue to Ruby-Spears' ''ThundarrTheBarbarian'' (characteristically, the studio had planned to make the hero a black astronaut, but [[ExecutiveMeddling CBS insisted on appealing to a different demographic]], so Blackstar became a deeply tanned white man). In 1983, Filmation achieved its greatest success with ''[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'', a daily syndicated series based on a wildly popular line of toys from Mattel. This was quickly followed by a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] spin-off, ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower''. ''WesternAnimation/{{Bravestarr}}'' and ''Tarzan and the Super 7'' were other entries in the studio's action-adventure line. These series were a favorite target of consumer advocates in the Eighties, being often characterized as nothing more than 30-minute toy commercials.

Filmation was owned first by [=TelePrompTer=] and later by Westinghouse (the logo above being rendered in the distinctive [[http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/larabie/anklepants/ "Group W" font]] shared among most Westinghouse broadcasting assets), but was bought by the L'Oreal Corporation in 1987 and promptly shut down, probably for tax purposes. Its last production to be released was the theatrical feature ''WesternAnimation/HappilyEverAfter'', an unofficial sequel to Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' (featuring seven "dwarfelles" in place of dwarfs), six years after the studio was killed.[[note]]Their last production to be released while the studio was still in business was ''WesternAnimation/PinocchioAndTheEmperorOfTheNight'' in 1987, a similar attempt by Filmation to ape Disney.[[/note]] Attempts by founder Lou Scheimer to [[IncrediblyLamePun re-animate]] the studio have so far proved unsuccessful.

The studio's first success came in 1966 with ''TheNewAdventuresOfSuperman''; this was soon eclipsed by the runaway popularity of ''WesternAnimation/TheArchieShow'' in 1968. ''Archie'' spun off Filmation's next hit, ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaAndTheGroovieGoolies'', in 1971. In 1972 a bizarre {{crossover}} film was made for ''The ABC Saturday Superstar Movies'' featuring the Groovie Goolies meeting various WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes characters. The studio's first foray into socially conscious cartooning came in 1972 with ''WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids''; thereafter, didacticism would be common not only on cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/MissionMagic'' (a precursor to ''Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus'' in featuring a supernaturally endowed teacher, [[IncrediblyLamePun Miss Tickle]], along with later 1980s pop idol Rick Springfield), but in Filmation's live-action productions as well, such as the environmentally educational ''Ark II'', ''{{Shazam}}'' and ''The Secrets of Isis'' (which featured another magical, HotLibrarian-ish teacher, who transformed into the Egyptian goddess [[[ByThePowerOfGrayskull "O mighty Isis!"]]]) in order to fly around in skimpy skirts and demonstrate social lessons into the bargain.

Moreover, Lou Scheimer's social conscience led him to submit the studio's productions to the oversight of various MoralGuardians, resulting in the avoidance of any controversial or challenging aspects in its series and in the various AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle lectures appended to episodes in the 1970s and 80s. On the plus side, Filmation did employ many of the best animation writers of the 1970s and '80s, and its artwork (as opposed to animation) featured graceful and gutsy character designs and impressive, intricate backgrounds—though the company characteristically exploited the latter by interrupting many episodes with long slow background pans featuring no animation at all.

The studio was run on a shoestring budget, so they had to limit costs wherever possible. This condition was aggravated by Filmation's "people before art" policies which forbade the company from outsourcing jobs to cheaper foreign animation studios.[[hottip:*:Although they did work with {{TMS}} on Zorro. However, Zorro was even cheaper to produce than TMS's own domestic productions, and TMS paid their staff members more than Filmation did—to put ''that'' in perspective, a typical episode of an American cartoon usually has around 3 times ($300,000 dollars) the budget of a typical episode of an anime ($123,000 dollars)—showing just how cheap Filmation was. The only thing saving the American studio was the favourable yen-to-dollar exchange rate at the time; once that changed, they decided to just do the rest of their shows themselves.]] This resulted in Filmation's (in)famous cost-cutting techniques: LimitedAnimation and considerable reliance on [[StockFootage re-used footage]].

Filmation owned the rights to a 1975 live-action series called ''The Ghost Busters'' starring ''FTroop'' co-stars Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch (one of Filmation's favorite voice actors), and a [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys guy in a gorilla suit]]. ColumbiaPictures had to apply for the rights to call its 1984 movie ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'', and after its success, Filmation revived the series in animated format, now called simply ''[[WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters Ghostbusters]]''. The SpinOff animated show from the movie thus became ''TheRealGhostbusters'', while Filmation's version was for a while named ''[[WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters The Original Ghostbusters]]''.
